Graduating from college is a significant accomplishment and one that should be commemorated. Spending years dedicated to studying to become an expert in your area of interest is not a small feat. There are many ways you can celebrate and commemorate college graduation. Here are a few fun and fantastic gift ideas for a recent graduate.

Holiday Ornament

Unique Christmas ornaments are an excellent gift for a recent graduate because they are small enough to not get in the way and they will also be looked at and remembered every year. Have an ornament made for their Christmas tree with their name and date of graduation or picture, or decorated in the school colors. There are many ways you can personalize the ornament for the graduate. You could even get ornament sets highlighting the school they graduated from. You could also give blanket ball ornaments and DIY Christmas ornaments. There is nothing you can’t DIY with a bit of ribbon and hot glue. You can have the ornaments made into a wreath or other Christmas decor if they already have an excessive amount of Christmas tree ornaments.

Key Chain or Car Ornament

A personalized key chain is an excellent gift because it is something they’ll see every day. A car ornament or bumper sticker from their college are also great gifts, and they commemorate the graduation and remind them how proud you are of their accomplishments. They are also fun ways to brag to others who will see the critical chain or car ornament when they are out and about. A key chain or car ornament also won’t take up a lot of space, so it won’t become clutter as they move on to the next step in their life.

The Next Step

While this may not be affordable for everyone, buy them a gift to set them up for the next step in their educational journey, like a new laptop. Many universities offer online graduate programs for people to continue school while working. For example, online BCBA programs allow students to earn their master’s degree in behavioral analysis while exploring their career options. The online format offers the same course content, admissions process, diplomas, practical experience, analytic assessment, additional electives, philosophical foundations, conceptual issues, and supervised fieldwork as the campus option. Top performers will earn online graduate degree diplomas and have the same opportunities for meaningful work and the ability to pursue their personal goals as students who choose the campus option. The one thing they will need if going to school online is a dependable laptop. If they still have the computer they used through their undergraduate program, they are going to be excited to get a new one and touched by your generous gift.

Coffee Mug

A coffee mug may not sound like a fun or exciting gift like a new laptop or custom Christmas ornament, but a coffee mug is handy and will be a constant visual reminder of their accomplishment. You can get a mug from the school they graduated from. Coffee mugs are perfect whether they drink coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and they can be used at work or while they are working toward their next online degree program. You can also get coffee mugs personalized with names, dates, images, or mascots, just like the ornaments.

The goal of commemorating graduation is to show the graduate how proud you are of their accomplishment and recognize the hard work that went into their degree. People often look at college students like all they do is drink and party, but college is not easy. Students have to master time management, money management, and study skills quickly or else they won’t make it through a four-year program.
